摘要：A technique is described for improving throughput in a processing system, suchas a network storage server. The technique provides multiple levels (e.g., a hierarchy) of

parallelism of process execution within a single mutual exclusion domain, in a mannerwhich allows certain operations on metadata to be parallelized as well as certainoperations on user data. The specific parallelization scheme used in any given

embodiment is based at least partly on the underlying metadata structures used by theprocessing system. Consequently, a high degree of parallelization possible, whichimproves the throughput of the processing system.
